Today we are pleased to release the May 2021 update for Power BI Report Server. The May release comes with many fixes for issues posted here on the community forums. Microsoft Download Center link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56722 The changelog will soon be updated with the following information: May 2021 Power BI Report Server Version: 1.11.7815.26414 (Build 15.0.1106.169), Released: May 27, 2021 Features Added enhancements for PBIX reports containing "models with enhanced metadata". Custom Visual API shipped with release - version 3.5.0 Bug fixes Fixed issue with caching of linked reports. Fixed issue where "Changed by" section would show incorrect date on some PBIX reports. Fixed issue causing "Datasource is not found" for PBIX report data sources. Fixed issue causing "No credentials were found for the datasource" for PBIX report data sources. Fixed permission issue for live connect of SSAS tabular PBIX reports. Fixed various issues in new portal preview. Power BI Desktop (optimized for Power BI Report Server) Version: 2.93.982.0 (May 2021), Released: May 27, 2021 Contains changes required for connection with Power BI Report Server (May 2021). "Models with enhanced metadata" is now the only option for modeling in Power BI Desktop for RS. Bug fixes I also wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a few things. Internet Explorer is deprecated in this release and this will be the last release for IE. Users who connect to the portal with IE will see an warning stating that it will not be supported soon. In the September release later this year IE will not be supported. Several fixes and changes were added to the new Portal experience preview ("Portal2") but it is not the default experience after installation. "Portal2" has a new theme and slightly different user experiences in some areas of the product. It will be the default in the September release later this year, and only option in future releases beyond that. Because of this we highly encourage validating your important scenarios in the new portal and let us know if you encounter any issues. Please try it the same way you did in January by setting "UsePortalV2" to "True" in the ConfigurationInfo table of the catalog for your Reportserver. Finally, "models with enhanced metadata" will once again be the default (and only) option for reports created in the May version of Power BI Desktop for Report Server. Some users may recall this switch happened in October 2020 and had a few issues. Since then the team has been hard at work trying to ensure all known bugs are addressed. Power BI reports that exist today on your Reportserver will be unchanged, and should continue to work as they have. Additionally uploading reports that have no been upgraded to have enhanced metadata will still work on your reportserver. Any reports opened and saved back to the server with the May version of Desktop will be upgraded to have this feature enabled. This upgrade is one way and cannot be undone, so for the cautious I would recommend saving copies of reports to ensure refresh works as expected before upgrading the main copy of your reports. We do not anticipate any issues will arise with refresh of models that have been upgraded, but if you do encounter an issue please contact support and/or create a new thread with as much detail as possible and tag me and I will try to reply as quickly as possible. -PetePower BI Report Server Jan 2021 Released
We have released the January Power BI Report Server update with fixes addressing the most common issues reported for models using enhanced metadata as well as a preview for the upcoming Power BI Report Server UI overhaul. It can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55329 Changelog will be updated with the following information: - *Version: 1.10.7698.12811 (Build 15.0.1105.194), Released: January 21, 2021* - Features - New Icons related to Power BI and Power BI reports. - New portal preview experience added behind 'UsePortalV2' feature switch in ReportServer catalog's ConfigurationInfo table. - Bug fixes - Fixed issue with scheduled refresh of Power BI reports with certain models using enhanced model metadata. - Fixed issue editing data driven subscriptions in portal. If you are interested in trying the new Portal experience you will need to update a value stored in the ReportServer catalog. /****** Script to ENABLE Portal preview ******/ UPDATE [ReportServer].[dbo].[ConfigurationInfo] SET [dbo].[ConfigurationInfo].Value = 'true' Where [dbo].[ConfigurationInfo].Name = 'UsePortalV2' /****** Script to DISABLE Portal preview ******/ UPDATE [ReportServer].[dbo].[ConfigurationInfo] SET [dbo].[ConfigurationInfo].Value = 'false' Where [dbo].[ConfigurationInfo].Name = 'UsePortalV2' After changing this value you will need to restart your Reportserver instance. Your portal should now look like this: While this is a preview it is the plan to make this view the new default in a future update of Power BI Report Server so we welcome all feedback as well as reports of any issues you face. As always after applying this update if you run into any other issues with the release please create a new thread or contact Microsoft support describing your issue in as much detail as possible so we can address them one at a time and others are able to see solved issues.
